Integrate the ability to block out dates like in Music Teacher's Helper
Our music studio has variable schedules. For example, some of our teachers teach half-hour weekly lessons, some teacher 1 hour biweekly lessons, and others teach 45 minute lessons with one week off each month. This week is variable because the week off always coincides with a statutory holiday. Since we have 85 teachers, this would be idea if each teacher can block out their own dates.
17 votesthis has been completed on another ticket. go to calendar>setup>studio closure dates to create black out dates

Reports Feature Request
Could you please keep this request for when you review the reports and add the email address field in the Registration report.

Thank you

Single-Day or week Event Deletion
Enable single-day or multiple day deletion on the calendar to allow our school to show its holidays/break days... instead of having to delete each teacher's classes/lessons one event at a time for the entire day or week(s). This would be very helpful.

Allow more then 7 teachers to be seen on the Calendar Teacher view.
Allow more then 7 teachers to be seen on the Calendar Teacher view.
32 votesIt’s unclear to me when this was changed, but currently, if you have more than 7 teachers, it will show them all. This makes for a very difficult calendar to read for many cases, but I would say this is completed.

Allow multiple teachers on event
For certain classes, we have multiple teachers on the same event. Rather than clutter the admin. calendar with a separate event for each teacher, it would be nice to be able have multiple teachers on an event.
41 votesYou can now have two additional teachers in an event.

sort by teacher AND student for mass emails
I would like to send mass emails to the students of a particular teacher or teachers. There is no button that allows me to sort first by teacher, and then have the students of that particular teacher appear.
This has been hugely inconvenient, especially since in the reports area, where I can sort by teacher and students, the email address does not appear in the roster, only street address. So I can't even copy and paste. The only thing that has worked thus far is if I log out, log in again as one of my teachers and then send…3 votes -
No longer charge for former students
Currently the software bills for inactive students and one has to manually delete any students that are currently inactive to avoid being billed for them. The additional charge per student is stomach able as it is assumed that if one has additional active students they will have be making enough money to not mind the additional little slice of the pie being given out. However, the deletion of former students messes up both some of the current reports, past invoices, and most of the records associated with the account. Please change the billing feature to only charge to active students…

Be able to control times that are shown on the calendar
HOW ABOUT BEING ABLE TO CUSTOMIZE THE TIMES ON THE CALENDAR-FOR EXAMPLE WE DO NOT TEACH LESSONS AT 2 IN THE MORNING! MOST OF OUR LESSONS ARE AFTER SCHOOL AND IN THE EVENINGS-IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE THE CALENDAR THEY WAY WE WANT IT, AND NOT HAVE TO SCROLL DOWN FROM 12AM TO SEE THE 4PM
52 votesI’m happy to say that this is now possible. If you go to Settings → Studio Settings, you can specify the start and end times that are visible on the calendar for each day.
Let us know if you have any questions about this.

Payroll tool with only lessons paid by students that haven't been paid to teachers yet
We currently have to post the schedule and invoices in AIMsi and SH. This is the only way I can get an accurate listing of what lessons are paid for so teachers are only paid for those lessons. I emailed tech support a copy of the report I currently use, but we want to get away from AIMsi completely and can't until I can accurately do payroll without it. Having to run the schedule in both system is causing human errors and resulting in scheduling issues.
20 votesWe have a payroll feature now.

Create a field for gender
When entering "people" data, I would like to suggest there is a option for Gender. In our multicultural society and with such a variety of names in existence, you can not always tell the gender of a person based on their christian name alone. Regards, Rachel

Absent Lessons vs. Cancelled Lessons?
When lessons are marked as absent they no longer show up on invoices when they are updated or generated. My studio policy requires parents to pay for a lesson their child has missed without notice.
2 votesThis bug was recently brought to our attention and was caused by a recent update. We have now fixed it.

Parent Import/addition to Student Import
When creating a new studio profile, it is very time consuming to have to enter all of the parent info manually. Since we can import the students, we should be able to import the parents too. Also, add column to the student import what family they belong to.
6 votesThis has actually been implemented. In the People list on the right hand side there is an import for parents. MTH users also have a direct import found in the settings tab.

Track teacher pay rates, and reports for teacher performance
I currently use the lessons taught report and cross reference other sources to pay my teachers.
I would like to use studio helper to:
- track pay rate by teacher
- track how much I owe them
- track/schedule payment datesIn addition, (another feature set) I would like to track teacher performance based on studio helper data including: Retention rate (average time a student stays with the teacher), trial lesson conversions, absenteeism, referrals)
I'm fairly new to the program so I may be missing the ability to do some of this already......
38 votesYou will now see a rate tab within teacher profiles in order to list how you pay them. A report is next in order to track that pay.

Show individual emails sent from SH.
At present, only mass emails are archived. It is convenient to select an individual to send emails regarding, schedules, payments, etc. Could you set up an email tab on the profile page that shows all email correspondence sent to the client? This would be extremely helpful to pull up a correspondence trail when needed.
13 votesThere is now an email tab in profiles where you can email that student, parent or teacher. Teachers, parents, students can now see email history in the email history tab of things they have sent. Admin will see all

Change the calendar's delete all behavior.
After clicking the 'x' next to the date on the calendar to delete all events on a day, the calendar snaps your back to today. I think the calendar should stay on the week you were viewing when you deleted events.
10 votesThis is working as expected. While in week view, click the small x next to the day you want to delete. Once deleted, you are still in week view.

Calendar- drag and drop + reschedule & Forfeit options
I'd love to be able to drag an event on the calendar instead of going into the event and changing the time or date etc. i'd also love to have under attendance two more options: reschedule and forfeit. if a client informs us they're not coming too late the lesson is forfeit and that'll give me a chance to keep track, then if they let us know in a timely manner i'd love to have an option that says reschedule and then we can reschedule their lesson.
67 votesIt took a while to get this done (longer than it should have), but we now have a drag and drop calendar in Studio Helper. Along with the drag and drop functionality, there is also now a month view, and a few other minor improvements that we’re still working to refine. We welcome your feedback on how we can make this even better. :)
